The nearest Waffle House to me is either in the NativeAmericanapolis area or the Illinois suburbs of Saint Louis, MO.

In Wisconsin it is George Webb!

Yeah that sounds like the Janesville I remember.

I would not be against having a Waffle House north of St Louis.

I read a few years ago that there is some sort of trademark rights issue WRT them entering the Chicagoland market (where I feel that they'd do very well).

Green Bay seeking public feedback on proposed Larsen Road Bridge project

GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- The city of Green Bay is seeking feedback from community members about the proposed replacement of the Larsen Road Bridge over Beaver Dam Creek.

Construction is scheduled for the summer of 2024 and is expected to last two to three months.

During construction, Larsen Road between Taylor Street and Lambeau Street will be closed. Construction is expected to impact the Beaver Dam Creek Greenway as well.

The city will not be hosting a public meeting about the project. Instead, officials are encouraging community members to review the project description and displays online.

Comments and questions can be submitted to Ryan Schaitel at Ayres Associates, Inc. up until Aug. 31 by calling (920) 498-1200 or emailing SchaitelR@AyresAssociates.com.

^^ Plenty of bridges over Beaver Dam Creek were built around the same time (Late 60s?) and are currently being replaced or in bad condition.

The Interstate 41 expansion project recently had a public information meeting: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/wisconsin-dot-holds-public-meetings-on-i-41-expansion/ar-AA10K9gi?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=8cdd814a584e425383b93e882c9fb800. And, of course, the DOT has a website that details anything one would want to know about the project: https://i41project.wisconsindot.gov/.

25 years ago, there were still driveways and direct side-road access on much of that stretch of US-41. Packers fans will welcome the extra lanes of traffic.

I-41's west frontage road a bit south of Scheuring Rd is the southbound side of the original four lane US 41 highway, and was replaced with a new southbound roadway is the median in about Y2K.  Driveways, sideroads and all, it was carrying a good percentage the traffic load of the current southbound side at that time.

The evidence is south of De Pere where the west frontage road has a wider paved southbound shoulder from when it was US 41 and the pork chop at Birchwood Rd which looks to have been eliminated with recent road work.

There are some in the Indianapolis area. I am pretty sure that is farther north than St Louis.

Further north than either is Austinburg, Ohio's location.

Nice!

The Wis 29/County VV Interchange opened in Hobart/Howard today. Next up is removing County U at Wis 29 forcing motorists to use the Wis 32/Wis 156 Interchange to get to Wis 156. Most Wis 156 traffic was using County U/Old 29 as a short cut.

Wis 29 will now be freeway from Birch Rd in Shawano County to I-41. Will the speed limit be raised to 70 mph between the Shawano Co line and County FF where it's currently 70 mph?

The way things are going, WI-29 will probably be an I-x41 or I-x94 soon enough.  🤣

Is there a new exit number for this interchange?

Yeah this has been a long time in the making.  Upgrading the expressway further west. I am sure it will continue over time, but I doubt it will ever be a full freeway to Wausau much less Chippewa Falls.

I am assuming so.  That is usually the SOP. 

Is there a new exit number for this interchange?

I will be up there next weekend and can check it out.
